Has there been any word on this from superbot themselves?
its kinda odd if they haven't commented on the 20 character roster.
They call it launch line up which atm can be interpreted as the characters available on disc or the characters that they will reveal before it launches with more on disc as hidden characters.

I went through the official forums and apparently someone has hacked the beta and has been hinting at 2 unannounced characters being in the game.

Hopefully these unlockable characters are the badass ones we been looking for.

What i don't understand though is how come you didn't announce some big characters? Even if there are hidden characters, it still will lose money for the game considering that people won't know there in the game.

Remember that i'm going to die is the best way I know to avoid trap of thinking you have something to lose, you're already naked, there's no reason not to follow your heart.

Agreed. They should have kept characters like fat princess and big daddy as the secret unlockables. I think alot more people would have appreciated them being in the game then when in their spot they could have announced some of the characters that are rumoured to be in the game like big boss and cloud.

what i mean by that is that no one is gonna buy the game specifically for fat princess compared to a character like cloud.

Element of surprise I guess..Not working very well though. Hoping for the best is pretty much all we can do.

Ill wait for the game to be released and see what the reviews are like...This games makes me look forward to the next smash bro's on.Wii U and 3ds

Going a little off topic but I never played regular smash bros in multiplayer, instead I played sudden death rules over 5 minutes with my younger brothers. We'd take it in turns to pick a character that would be chosen by all of us with the winner of the previous match picking the next stage. After 9 matches we'd play a final match where the player who won the most matches picks his own character whilst the others hit the random character option.

Had so much fun with those rulesets. We did the same in both melee and brawl XD

Nathan Drake, Kratos, Heihachi, Dante, Radec, Big Daddy, and Cole were probably the characters Sony would have pegged as the "big" characters because they are relevant today and their IPs have been selling well in recent times (with exception to Dante, I suppose, who is moreso popularized by his "former" IP).

It just sounds like the kind of business move that I would expect where it's based primarily on sales figures...yet is out of touch with the bigger picture (i.e., many gamers also want to see the biggest old school all-stars who are just as important...yet they are virtually nowhere to be found).

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is in playable form at the EB Expo, which is currently underway in Sydney Australia, where new information regarding Superbot Entertainment’s much anticipated first PlayStation outing has come to light.

According to details passed along by EmperorLawlight a user on the game’s official community forums who attended the event the reason why Suberbot hasn’t released any new information on the brawler is due to the delay. You may recall that PSASBR was orriginally pegged for an October release before it was pushed back a moth.

Despite that fact Superbot promises to “get a lot more info now until the game releases”.

It was also revealed that the decision to include two Cole MacGraths ( Good & Evil Cole ) in the game was because Sucker Punch wanted 2 characters. As far as DmC Dante’s inclusion, Superbot would have added the original Dante from the PS2 era but Capcom wanted the rebooted version.

Although the trophy set isn’t complete, right now it’s sounding as if trophies will be 70% single player and 30% online. The PS+ beta will be released in late October or early November. Superbot is considering the inclusion of a screen-shot mode which allows players to take pictures and save replays.

Keep your eyes peeled this week for possible more details on the game. On Friday, October 5th, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Game Director Omar Kendall will be on hand at the EB LIVE Session to discuss the title around 7:10 local time.

Got a friend going there tomorrow, hope to get as much from it as possible.

Apparently Wander, MGS4 Old Snake, Crash Banditcoot, and Cloud Strife might be the last batch of characters unveiled.

Its still up in there air whether or not Playstation All-Stars will get any more big reveals thanks to that whole twenty characters at launch nonsense that was brought to light a few weeks ago, but Paul Gale just might have given fans a glimmer of hope.

After nearly ten days of waiting Paul Gale has revealed the final four characters supposedly leaked to him by a friend at Superbot in a new blog posting. Those characters are as follows. Wander from Shadow of the Colossus, Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy 7, Old Snake from MGS 4 and Crash Bandicoot (from Crash Bandicoot)

Paul goes on in his post about other characters that were considered but ultimately didn't make the cut. Its all a very interesting read. Did the above four get cut as well? Will they be DLC? Did they ever even exist in the first place? Only time will tell.
